This is hilarious:

Bill Maher Catches Heat for Reenacting Al Franken Grope Photo

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/bill-maher-catches-heat-for-reenacting-al-franken-grope-photo/ar-BBHSF5b?ocid=spartandhp


Franken should write his memoirs and title
them "I Am a Big Fat Idiot". I wonder how many
here will get the irony on that title.

I saw the pic on twitter earlier and laughed. He's groping Bob Saget. It's funny. Some liberals have absolutely no sense of humor. Maher points this out on his show almost weekly, which is one reason many liberals don't like him, even though he's on their team (his views on Islam are another reason many liberals don't like him).

What a sexist comment. It is okay to grope men but not okay to grope a women. What if it is a women groping a women is that okay? How about a man groping a 14 year old male teen? When does it become okay 15, 16, 17, 18 ......?

Personally I couldn't give a s**t but it has to be either okay or wrong, not move the goal posts according to your own politics and the people involved.

If the other woman is in on the joke, then it's fine.

Bob Saget, the man being "groped" in the photo, was in on the joke.

This is a nonstory. Your faux outrage is laughable.

So 30 years from now and when he claims that he was pressured to go along with it and was uncomfortable with the faux groping then it becomes assault?

Sure.

That'll never happen, but if it does, you will be vindicated. Congrats.

What a sexist comment.

Bob Saget is in on the joke and you are upset?
Are you kidding me?
So if I let a guy touch my chest and have a picture taken, you will get upset?
Do you get humor?

Bill Maher pic in the dictionary about non-pc by now since he had a whole show about it. What else would people expect?

I thought the orig Franken pic was
hilarious. He's so clueless and so
Lib arrogant, he didn't know you
don't have pics of yourself like
that taken. He doesn't know the
boundaries because he's a Lib. They're
never told 'no' so they think it
doesn't exist for them.
